Scientists discover the human heart can regrow muscle after a heart attack
Reported byScienceDaily ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Researchers at the University of Sydney and the Baird Institute have demonstrated for the first time that human heart muscle cells can regrow after a heart attack, overturning the long-held belief that damaged heart tissue cannot regenerate.
The heart's natural regenerative response is not currently strong enough to prevent the devastating effects of a heart attack; scientists hope eventually to develop therapies that amplify this ability.
